Amazing trek to Everest Base Camp. I traveled to Nepal in April to do the famous 18 day Everest base camp trek with friends. It was truly the most amazing and unforgettable adventure and I only wished I had longer to stay in the country. The trek is challenging but the beauty of the Himalayas and the feeling of accomplishment when you reach the camp is second to none. Shailesh and other guides were always friendly and happy to share their detailed knowledge of the region with us. From helping us get all the right gear before the trek to organising sightseeing trips around Kathmandu when we returned, Shailesh was always happy to help in any way he could. I would thoroughly recommend to anyone thinking of trekking in Nepal and Gokyo chola and Everest base camp
Gokyo Ri Trek with Tour Guide Shailesh helped us book our trip and make all necessary arrangements. He was helpful and accommodating, and kept in touch through our journey. He also set us up with our guide Sujan Rijal. Sujan is amazing with Knowledge. He have been done Master degree . He was supportive, safety conscious, fun, friendly, resourceful and responsive. We recommend him as guide with enthusiasm! Thanks for the trip of a lifetime!
I was there for 3 weeks and it was a great experience. Our guide was very professional and friendly. We were always welcome and the food/drinks tastes consistently good.
